Justin Verlander is engaged to Kate Upton.

Congratulations to Kate Upton and Justin Verlander.

American professional baseball pitcher from Detroit Tigers just got engaged to his girlfriend, actress and supermodel Kate Upton.

The news of their engagement is not a shock to the fans, as the couple was dating since late 2011.

Currently, the engagement of the love birds was confirmed after Upton showed off the engagement ring at the Met Gala 2016 on Monday.

Upton was noticed telling the media-

“I’m really excited. He asked me right before season started, so we’ve been keeping it on the down low for quite a while. So I’m excited to finally be able to share it with the world!”

The couple frequently appears together on several functions and events.

Their wedding-bell has been heard. But the exact date of the marriage has not been fixed yet.

As Upton has told to E!, " For now,  we are enjoying the engagement period" they are not seen to be in a hurry for getting married. Let them enjoy their engaged life, alongside we soon hope to see them tying the knot.

Looking at Upton’s Instagram picture, she was seen much excited for the Met Gala. Later we knew the reason behind her greater excitement that was to reveal about her engagement with her long time boyfriend.

"For us, we always try and work on our communication. We're very open with one another and we're each others best friends. He's definitely my best friend, so I think that helps a lot."
